Volume 2 Sui Yang's Ascension to the Throne Chapter 68 The Birth of Wuliangye

On the New Year's Day of the first year of the Great Cause, it was the first day of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the palace was full of lights, Yang Guang was wearing a bright yellow five-clawed dragon robe, wearing a flat top embroidered with nine dragons, a crown inlaid with 108 pearls, sitting on the emperor's throne, and the crown prince Yang Zhao stood aside and waited. The imperial relatives who returned to the capital from other places and the civil and military officials in the capital wore brand-new court clothes, divided into two classes, and walked slowly and respectfully into the main hall under the singing and singing of the ceremonial officials.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on his ascension to the Great Treasure, may my emperor live long live long live!"

"Everyone loves Qing's body!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After bowing to Yang Guang three times and bowing nine times, Chai Shen came out of the class to play.

"Your Majesty. The minister prepared a special thing to congratulate His Majesty on his accession to the throne and changed the yuan, and hoped that His Majesty would accept it with a face. ”

"Oh! Then I want to see! Aiqing, take it quickly! ”

"Yes!" Chai Shen asked Chai Jie to take out a very beautiful white porcelain wine jug, and when he saw the wine jug, some ministers were a little disappointed, and even Yang Guang's face was a little displeased. As the emperor who had just ascended the throne, Yang Guang hoped that he could offer some rare treasures in front of everyone, and he refused and reprimanded them in a fake way, and then accepted them under the flattery of the ministers, in order to show the emperor's majesty and benevolence. Chai Shen also noticed the emperor's face, but he opened the lid of the pot unhurriedly, and a sweet and mellow aroma of wine filled the entire palace. Yang Guang's interest was immediately raised. Chai Shen filled a cup with a golden cup, and after testing the eunuch's silver needle to test the poison, he found that it was not poisonous, so he presented it to Yang Guang. Yang Guang felt very mellow after taking a sip.

"Good wine! What kind of wine is this! ”

"Your Majesty, this is the wine that Inuko Chai Jie tasted all over the world and brewed through his own research, and the minister did not dare to enjoy it exclusively after tasting it, so he specially presented it to His Majesty."

"Oh! Is that the Chai Jie who abducted Tang Guogong's daughter? ”

"Your Majesty said that it was a joke, my son Chai Jie and Tang Gong's youngest daughter are in love, and Tang Gong and I have already made the decision to let them get married, as for the name of the abduction, it is really a rumor, now let the dog explain the mystery of this wine for His Majesty!" Chai Shen knows that Yang Guang is generous on the surface, Corporal Lixian, but in fact he is mean and unkind, and he is extremely narrow-minded, once he holds a grudge against you, then he will definitely find an opportunity to knife you in the back, plus now he has become the Ninety-Five Supreme, and he has even more reverse scales on his body.

"Shibasuke, tell me why this wine is so sweet and mellow."

"Your Majesty, the minister inspected the traditional brewing process and raw materials, combined the advantages of rice, glutinous rice, sorghum, soybeans, buckwheat and other crops, and took the water of Yibin to brew it."

"Good, good! Does this wine have a name? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to give me a name."

"Hmmm! This wine is brewed with five kinds of grains, and I gave it the name Wuliangye. Chai Jie, I seem to remember that during the period of the first emperor, Cheng Guoxuan, the assassin of Longzhou, once recommended you to the position of Sima of Longzhou, but you resigned and went to the market to be a businessman. Now that you have to serve the imperial court, I will now appoint you as the Yibin Taishou, and after you take office, you must establish more such winemaking workshops to produce more good wine. ”

"Ahh Jie'er don't hurry up and thank you! Chai Shen saw that Chai Jie hadn't reacted yet, so he hurriedly reminded him, and Chai Jie sent a flute. Under his father's reminder, Chai Jie looked at Yang Guang's face again, and quickly knelt down:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha!" Yang Guang was in a good mood when he heard Chai Jie's gratitude. A group of ministers were about to shout long live for Yang Guang, when a discordant voice came out.

"Wine is a thing that hurts the body, and wastes food, please ask Your Majesty to be a Ming Jun, smash this wine, and send Chai Jie's job to the frontier, never change the dynasty! Be wary of the ministers! Hearing this, Yang Guang's face immediately became gloomy. And the eyes of the ministers immediately focused on him. Li Yuan's father and son and Chai Shen's father and son also looked somewhere. It was discovered that it was the new secretary and supervisor Xue Daoheng.

"Xue Qing, do you mean that I am addicted to wine and immoral?"

"If the emperor accepts the advice of the minister, His Majesty will be the Emperor of the Ages, and if he does not accept it, His Majesty will be the Emperor of the Faint!" Yang Guangqi trembled. Serious killings emerge.

"Someone! Handful...... Yang Guang's hand had already been raised, and he was about to give an order.

"Your Majesty, wait! Chen Li Jiancheng has something to say. Yang Guang hesitated.

"Alright! Today's speaker is not guilty! Speak up if you have anything to say! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can't be recognized by a faint king because he likes wine. First, the brewing of wine originated from ancient times, and developed in the folk, I have many places in the Sui people are making a living from winemaking, so the minister thinks that winemaking is also one of the Chinese culture, that is, the Qin Emperor Han Wu has not quit drinking, second, the rise and fall of the dynasty depends on the number of heaven, and the emperor's own talent, His Majesty ascended the throne before the north to resist the Turks, to the south to recover the south of the Yangtze River, high wisdom rebellion, if it is to drink to the faint monarch is too pedantic, third, my emperor new emperor ascended the throne, there is such a mellow wine, is not an auspicious one?! Hearing what Li Jiancheng said, Yang Guang's face showed a happy expression, and Yu Wenshu and Pei Ju immediately stepped on.

"The minister thinks that what Li Jiancheng said is extremely true, this is auspicious from heaven, and it is the blessing of my Great Sui."

"Well said! Xue Aiqing, you did a good job, but you are a little pedantic, and you don't have these young talents to keep pace with the times! ”

"Li Jiancheng, you have this opinion, it's really a rare talent, I want to use you, Li Jiancheng listens to the seal, I seal you as a sergeant of the forbidden palace, the sixth rank, you will still be on duty in the palace from tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

As an emperor, Yang Guang cannot be said to be a faint king, he pays attention to all kinds of talents. But in the eyes of an orthodox Confucian disciple like Xue Daoheng, it was a little deviant, so Xue Daoheng didn't say anything more, but his face was full of unshaven looks. And Yang Guang's serious killing machine was also clearly seen by a discerning person.

Fu: The origin of Wuliangye: distillation and liquor originated in the Yuan Dynasty, after the emergence of sorghum, other crops began to withdraw from the stage of liquor, which began from the north as a raw material for liquor and slowly introduced to the south, the real Wuliangye originated in Rongzhou (the Northern Song Dynasty was renamed Yibin) Yao Zixuequ, the earliest propaganda of Wuliangye when the Northern Song Dynasty poet Huang Tingjian, and made a cup of color jade, Baiyun Shenggu, clear but not thin, thick but not turbid, sweet but not stinging, bitter but not stinging words. After the liberation, the Yibin government officially named Yao Zixuequ Wuliangye. Now for the needs of the novel, I have to move Wuliangye out in advance.

Appendix 2: Ancient Chinese court wine culture, the Qin Dynasty due to the age, coupled with the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, after the invasion of Xianyang, the Qin Dynasty palace and historical classics were burned, so the historical information about the court life of the Qin Dynasty is difficult to find, and many of the information in later generations are fabricated by Sima Qian during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, not credible, China's earliest record of the palace wine is the Han Dynasty, the court wine at that time was made of kiwifruit fruit wine, the wine color is green, and the idiom of red wine should be from that era, The record of the application of liquor fired from grain and court banquets originated from the Gaozong period of the Tang Dynasty, and the famous palace wine sword Nanchun appeared during that period.
